Chapter 395: Completion of Matters and Cultivation
Amidst the flurry of compliments around him, Liu Yu silently pondered.
The lifespan of qi refinement stage cultivators is one hundred and twenty years, while that of foundation establishment cultivators is two hundred and forty years. Even with some longevity-enhancing methods, it won't exceed three hundred years.
On the other hand, something like obsidian, if not damaged by human hands, can exist for thousands or tens of thousands of years without issue.
“Death is not the end; forgetting is.”
“If I cannot condense a golden core, then this will be the longest mark I leave in the world.”
With such thoughts, Liu Yu’s mood suddenly dipped.
However, this state did not last long, and he eventually returned to calmness.
How many geniuses throughout history have fallen before the golden core bottleneck, ultimately left with regrets?
No matter how much preparation he made, could he ensure his own success?
Many disciples in the team looked at Liu Yu with admiration and awe.
Most of the disciples in the sect had, to varying degrees, been to the border of Qingzhou and Jingzhou to carry out tasks, aware of the intense struggles between the two sects over the Kemeer Plain.
They also knew of the strength of the Heavenly Harmony Sect.
Because of this, they admired the leader who could seize resource points from the Heavenly Harmony Sect even more.
Liu Yu could feel various gazes gathering on him, yet he had long since hardened his heart, feeling not a single ripple of emotion.
“Why worry about the future?”
“Seizing the opportunities at hand is the most important.”
“Not seeking everything to go smoothly, but only to die without regrets!”
Liu Yu stood with his hands clasped behind his back before the tall boundary stone, his gaze flickering slightly.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, yet no one knew, and his gaze returned to calm and sharp.
“The matters are settled; it’s time for us to return to Eternal Prosperity Market.”
“Send the order; we depart immediately.”
He raised a hand gently, and the surroundings fell silent, followed by his command.
“Yes!”
Beside him, Jiang Qiushui, Cold Moon Heart, Meng Wenxing, and the others each acknowledged the order, which was quickly relayed.
The crowd parted to the sides, and Liu Yu hurried straight toward the docking area of the Return to Origin Boat. After he passed, a group of cultivators followed closely behind.
“Sending off Friend Qingyang!”
The Zhang Clan patriarch rushed over upon receiving the news, leading the clan members in a distant salute.
Liu Yu merely nodded slightly without speaking, took out the control token, and cast several spell gestures.
The Return to Origin Boat, measuring fifty to sixty zhang, trembled instantly, then slowly rose, turning to return along the original route.
With full speed of escape light, it quickly became a small dot in the sky before disappearing from sight.
At the new boundary, having the Zhang Clan stationed at the cold iron vein was sufficient. Even sending a few more foundation establishment cultivators would be of little use.
If Zhuo Mengzhen was determined to reignite disputes, even sending ten foundation establishment cultivators to guard wouldn’t prevent it.
However, this time, this woman suffered a significant loss, experiencing both the strength and determination of their side; she should not engage in such foolish actions again.
Persistence only leads to mutual destruction. From Liu Yu’s observation, she was not someone without sense.
At least for the short term, disputes at the boundary were unlikely to arise again.
As for future matters, after the war in Yan State, he didn’t even know if he would still be here, so why think too much and waste energy?
Let the later cultivators deal with it!
After a series of events, several hours passed, and the great sun dipped low in the west, twilight approaching.
A red escape light streaked across the sky against the sunset, boldly breaking through the air.
